ProModeler/Revell 1/48 Junkers Ju52/3m g3e Nightbomber Austrian Airforce

Also built two years ago by my dad. Didn´t knew that much about the Ju52 versions before that build. Thought with the ProModeler kit it would be an easy OOB thing because the kit includes the additional bomber parts, to say the belly [...]

Well after this week end, its time for another post, I have installed the weapon pylons, air brakes, intake covers and avionics bay cover as well as vac form the main canopy. I still need to finish the rudder and ailerons. I am nearing the [...]

Lothar Von Richthofen Albatros D III - Roden - 1:32

Dear friends, this is a project that I start in summer. This week end finally I finish it. I have built it out of the box. For rigging I have used the Uschi Van der Rosten wire and the 0,5 mm rod by Albion Alloy. For the wood graining i [...]

1/48 Minicraft Grumman XF5F-1 Skyrocket (continued)

This is a continuation of an article I posted a few weeks ago at the start of this project. If you are interested in the previous part, you can find it at (link). I probably should have done this in the WIP Group, but here is the [...]

Recycle Bin

This was a co-build with a fellow Tulsa Modelers Forum member Paul W. He built the Fw-190 which I promptly took apart by removing all flying surfaces, wings and engine. The Trumpeter low sided rail car was the basis of this topic. While [...]

MiG GB – 1/48 MiG-19PM.

This is my contribution to the MiG Group Build that Sebastijan Videc was so kind to start and moderate. It’s an early Trumpeter kit from around 2004 that’s been in my stash since at least 2009. It’s a solid kit that assembled [...]
